Thank you I really appreciate the time you’ve taken out your day for me x

Goodness me. This might be harder than I though lol

Those are pretty much the numbers that I had in mind today while I was walking through Tesco. Was shocked to see just how many carbs were in foods I didn’t think would have been full of sugar. I always thought Lloyd Grossman pasta sauces were healthy, but they have more sugar than most! On...

That’s really good to know, thank you. I’ve just got to keep going

That makes sense thank you. I think it’s mainly the numbers before I eat in the morning, that concerns me. I went to Tesco this morning (tried and failed to find some low carb bread) and my reading when I got back was 6.9 which I think is quite a lot. That and how my body feels when I eat too...

Thank you. Looking at the back of packaging, how many grams of carbs per 100g of food do you recommend I don’t go above?

Oh I can see it now! Everything recommend is a carb overload. Congratulations on your weight loss. You must feel amazing. I will persist, and you’re right. I didn’t put the weight on overnight, so it’s not going disappear that quickly either. I just need to be consistent and patient. Oh and...

Thank you. Strangely, if I eat too much carbs, I do get this horrible high floaty feeling, and I guess that’s when my numbers are too high. But when I eat sensibly, my daytime numbers are fine. It’s just my fasted number that’s a bit too high for my liking.

Thank you, this is interesting. And so different to everything I’ve ever heard my entire life. I feel like I’m having to learn everything from scratch. But I’ve read in here enough times that it worked for people, again and again. Edited to add: I’ve just tested my BG 2 hours after dinner. Only...

Thank you much. I have read about Jason in this forum today, but I haven’t had a chance to read up on any of his work yet. I’ll definitely check out YouTube later this evening. I’m very pleased to hear your journey has been successful so far. I have been meaning to try IF as I have done it...

Thank you so much! I like it here very much and I can tell this place will be a huge help to me

Yes! Indeed. I seem to have lost a lot of bloat in my face and neck area and thighs. This is partly why I kept thinking my weight was reduced but nope. Just water it seems lol

Thank you, those are very fair points you bring up. Plus I suppose 1lb down is better than 1lb up.

Thank you so much I really appreciate your kind words. It is hard. I have a lot of stress, and have done my whole life. Even with these symptoms, it was more of "oh what is it now" then shock. I really do need to take some time for myself, but l've been doing this for so long I don't really...

That’s a great idea, and I’m not sure why hadn’t occurred to me lol. Thank you

That sounds lovely! I’m not the best in the kitchen but I reckon I could give fish cakes a go. I think you may be right about the dressing. They add up to 8g of sugar a day. The rye bread is 24.8g of carbs which 3.1g of sugar. I’ll pop into tesco tomorrow and see what low carb options they have.

Thank you so much, I’m so happy to have found a supportive place :) I don’t mind calorie counting although, I could probably get to eating a bit faster without it lol. Yesterday I had: For breakfast, I have a slice of Biona rye bread, 80g avocado, 1 egg fried with a teaspoon of oil. Lunch...

Thank you so much for replying. I agree with you, perhaps I do need to be more patient. I guess in mind, it used to come off faster than this, but I suppose my body is in a different place now. I am tracking calories and carbs in the Lose It App. I think it’s a good idea for me to lower my...

Hello everyone. I’ll try and give you some back story without this turning into a 10 page essay. I’m 38 and currently 23 stone 1lb. I have a disabled child and as a single parent, the focus of anything has never been on myself. This year I started to have some health issues, and I noticed some...
